*Footsteps* *Footsteps*
Footsteps sound echoed through the long dark cold empty tunnel...
*JhaJha* In this darkness... A weird funny ghost appeared from nowhere with a sly smile on its funny face making a more funny laughing sound...
Weirdly this ghost wasn't gloomy as it should be, but was shining bright white light revealing everything around it...
And in front of this ghost, there was a piece of white paper moving forward toward somewhere in this darkness... Apparently, this ghost was following this paper...
"Your ghosts can do anything, Perona.." Niala walked behind the ghost and talked to Perona while looking at the shining ghost with curious eyes.
"Hehe! Yes, My ghost can do anything!..." Perona nodded her head proudly and said...
While Gray kept silent just followed the paper while looking around and thinking...
This place was so big, they have been walking for some time already and didn't find anything yet...
Gray was thinking about the situation of this place right now... this tunnel shouldn't be so dark, he can see and feel the metal and light extensions around him... But for some reason, there was no electricity around...
'Abandoned? Doesn't seems so...' Gray thought of this while walking...
"Look... there is a door in front of us!" While walking, soon in front of them a door appeared which was also the end of this long tunnel...
Perona saw the door not far away and said.
The paper also stopped in front of this iron waiting for it to open...
*SHEER* Gray didn't stop and flickered his finger, which forced the door to open.
"Here is?" What appeared in front of them wasn't another tunnel, but a huge hall... A huge dark hall filled with many kinds of electric equipment here and there...
And more importantly, there was light here!
A few small blue lamps in the corners, similar to alert or power cut extra light...
"There's no one here too..." Perona looked around and said... While talking she released a few more ghosts around...
The blue light wasn't enough for them to see clearly after all...
"Look..." Niala suddenly saw an odd metallic object and walked to its side...
"Hmmm... What is this?" Perona saw Niala picking up something and came to her side to take a look...
"Robot?" Niala pointed at where she picked the head and said...
The rest of the robot's body was still on the ground where she picked the head up...
"Heh? how did you remove its head?" Perona didn't care about the robot but asked something else...
"Just removed it... That's not the point... =.=" Niala heard an out of place question and answered funnily...
"Let's go... there is nothing here..." After a few minutes, Gray didn't keep looking around and said...
For the robot, he was the first to find it... After all, this thing was also made of metal...
The moment Gray saw it, he had a few guesses about this place... And also a reason for him to advance faster...
This place shouldn't be an abandoned site...
Niala and Peron also didn't find anything that could attract their interest here and followed...
Because of Perona's ghosts, their way wasn't dark and everything here can be seen clearly...
Along their way, Gray and the others went through a few other halls... and every hall was quite different...
But one thing was clear...
This maze-like underground base was actually a huge laboratory... A very big one...
They also found many robotic machines that should be made to manage this place...
Gray and the others kept following the paper and went through many tunnels and halls till finally, they found themselves in an unusual hall...
"Gray... This is..." When they entered the hall, the first thing that caught their eyes was blood... A lot of blood all over this hall...
"What happened here?" Perona stayed close to Gray while looking around this bloody place...
'Test room...' Gray looked at the bloody beds and operation equipment and thought... He understood where he was...
"Hey... I think you have to see this..." Niala walked to the glass side of the room and looked through it and said...
"Well... That explains the blood..." Hearing her words, Gray turned his face and looked at what she wanted to show him... And what he saw only confirmed his thoughts more...
He saw water containers...Many water containers filled with many kinds of creatures you can find out, including both humans and zombies... and almost all of them were incomplete bodies...
"Let's go..." After seeing this picture, Gray didn't try to do anything and followed Mary's paper again...
Even though there were many creatures in front of him, Gray didn't feel any life sign from them at all... These bodies were contained for a current reason of the container only...
As they walked out of this hall, they entered another room...
This one wasn't like the other but was so clear and clean with only an office table and one chair...
Gray walked to the office table and picked the only folder on it to take a look at...
"Hmmm, what is this?" Niala and Perona also walked to Gray's side and looked at the papers he was holding...
On the paper, there was a picture of a red-skinned man and some information written beside his picture...
Gray looked at the paper for a second and turned to the next one...
The same, picture of another person and information on it...
Gray turned a few papers and finally stopped in one of them...
It was a picture of an extremely handsome man with long green hair and a fair face with a unique pattern painted on his forehead...

...
Yup... The papers were recording information of various awakeners... A few awesome awakeners...
"That's so detailed..." Niala saw the many details on the papers and said...
"Yes, it is..." Gray nodded his head for what she said...
For some awakeners, their abilities are their secrets, it wasn't easy to tell others about their details...
To collect all these details can be said to be very impressive...
Gray watched all these records with many thought in his heart...
*TWITCHING*
While looking around the files, the hall around them suddenly vibrated in shock... And a flickering of yellow electricity traveled through the iron walls around them...
"Golden electricity...." Perona saw the disappearing lightning around and said...
"Let's go..." The folder in Gray's hand disappeared and forced the big door on the other side of the room to open, which allowed Mary's paper that stopped moving to go on...
This time, it was a huge tunnel leading into a huge iron gate not far from them...
This gate was the biggest gate Gray seen since he came to this place...
"Gray open it! The lightning just now came from this direction... She should be behind this door!" Perona couldn't wait to open the door and see Mary...
Honestly, she was somehow worried about Mary... this place doesn't look like a good place at all... From the bloody scene she saw before, she can see that it wasn't a nice place to stay in...
But Mary's paper was normal till now which shows that she was safe, and Mary herself as lightning, nothing can hurt her... Let's not say this underground maze was made of iron...
In fact, Gray also had the same thoughts...
Even if Mary encountered something, she shouldn't stay here for long...
So Gray thought of two reasons... One that she was stuck here for some reason, or there was something attracting her to stay here...
Anyway... He will know the answer behind the giant door in front of him...
"Stand behind me..." Gray said to Perona and Niala and pointed his hand at the gigantic door in front of him...
The metal quality of this door was ridiculously high, and even the technology used on it was so advanced...
Gray felt great resistance from the door... Still, all this resistance was made by other metals...
So the door defenses couldn't resist his control and the locks were forcefully unlocked from inside to outside...
*JGGGGAAAAAA* Under their eyes, the huge door was forcefully separated in half...
*LIGHTNING*
The moment Gray opened a small crack on this gate, a strong yellow light power came out...
And a strong sound of lightning screamed out...
*BOOM* Gray didn't stop after seeing this but opened the door completely...
And what appeared in front of them was unlike all what they met in this underground world...
The first thing that entered their eyes was a tragic golden statue...
Several golden spears penetrating a tall man's body cutting his body into three parts...
The first part was half of his chest that was separated by one spear fixing this half into the ground, while another spear moved directly through his neck separating his head from his upper body, while the head itself didn't fell down and was penetrated by another spear directly through of the middle of his face destroying the body owner real face completely...
If the blood and organs didn't turn to gold as soon as they were cut apart, the picture would have been very ugly... Well... it's ugly right now...
Apparently... Someone was killed... and in a very ugly way...
Gray and the others looked at the creepy statue only for a second till they raised their head and looked at the angelic elf that was trapped by a special energy field made by a black small cube floating gently above the ground...
